Excellent! Would love to see it catch on!
Fantastic concept. A friend in Bulgaria shared this app with me, and while there isn’t anyone using it yet in my part of the United States, I hope it catches on. It’s very well built, easy to navigate, and the concept behind it would make a tremendous impact on both big cities and small towns.
A must-have app if you want to be socially involved in every facet of your life.
Awesome social issue reporting app - making social issue reporting quick and easy.
Great idea
Very promising app that can help people make their local communities better for everyone.
Really well-done and worthwhile
This app has a ton of potential to create transparency in how city governments go about improving the lives of people around the U.S. What I like is that it’s action-oriented and public, so citizens throughout any city can see what’s going on and so reports/complaints don’t just fall into a black hole.
City governments should definitely see the utility of this app for creating greater efficiency in their public services!

Revolutionary Concept
Excited by Citizen’s mission, empowering individuals to solve issues within their local communities.
Great work! Clean UI, easy to use.

Finally...
This is such a great way for a community to see problems collectively and collaborate to build and improve itself
Who hasn’t seen a potholes go unnoticed and not fixed
or roads that have been left unmended

Fun app that also helps our community
I love this app! It’s all about making our community better by taking action and making our opinions heard and seen.
Extremely promising; hoping it picks up in the US
Citizens does for local neighborhood safety what Waze does for driving:
In the same way that Waze lets you place alerts/notifications for your fellow drivers re: things like police presence; potholes; roadkill; etc, imagine a similar thing, but for neighborhoods, where you can drop alerts/notifications for your fellow citizens re: things like:
- illegal parking (you can input license plate)
- road violations
- dangerous animals
- homeless person in danger
- malfunctioning city utilities like lights, water, etc
- illegal dumping
- broken playground equipment
- noise
- road rage (again, with license plate reporting)
- air pollution
- bullying
- sidewalk issues
Etc etc.
The cool thing is, once you drop an alert for something, you can track its progress to see whether it's being remedied (or not). Presumably it can notify the appropriate authorities / agencies.
Obviously it's a new app, so when I selected SF there wasn't any activity to speak of yet. I think they literally just (soft) launched. So don't be disappointed when you see an empty newsfeed.
If you’re familiar with NextDoor, think of this as the logical compliment to ND’s feature that lets you report crime & suspicious activity; this is a vastly better implementation.
PS. A really cool feature: In your personal profile settings, you can input up to 3 vehicle license plates: This way, if somebody files a report against you (because they can report your license plate!), you can apologize and have the report removed! Very cool.
